Dear friends : joeframptom CEO wally batemanPresident omeone told us that Shakespeare wrote, “We know what we are, but know not what we MAY be.” Over the years, we have watched as our bank has been redefined time and time again. And that statement by the 16th century bard becomes most appropriate in our 21st century world. Each day we meet new challenges . we encounter new developments in our industry and in our community . we process input from our customers . we look for new ideas to make our provision of financial Sservices more efficient and valuable. And we think it’s safe to say that we have a good idea of who we are and even who we want to be. But who we MAY become is always the unexpected factor that we can’t anticipate. And that is truly the exciting part of working at Paducah Bank. For example, we are PROUD to be a partner with the Paducah Rotary Club, helping to provide free college tuition to WKCTC for local students. This is a perfect illustration of how we are ever-aware of what’s going on around us so that we can become a productive part of efforts such as this. How gratifying for us to be a part of something that MAY change the course of a young person’s life. It’s a pleasure to profile our city’s fine public golf course in this issue of WOW! Who knows what outstanding young golfers MAY develop by having a quality facility available to them. We also recently contributed a number of books to the local Head Start program. What impact MAY the love of reading have on a future generation? We know not what lies ahead. And therein lies the greatest expectation. Shakespeare MAY not have said that. So we thought we would!
